Bring Your Own Phone
Already have a phone? Keep it. Get Lifeline service from Free Link Wireless on your own compatible, unlocked device.
Is my phone compatible?
- It must be unlocked — or paid off so your current carrier can unlock it.
- It must support our network bands — most phones from the last several years do.
- Find your IMEI by dialing *#06#. See our IMEI guide.
What you'll receive
We'll send a SIM card, or eSIM instructions for eSIM-capable phones like the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15. See our eSIM guide.
Keep your number too
You can port your number when you switch. Follow our porting guide.
BYOD benefits
- No device co-pay
- Keep your apps, photos, and contacts
- Same Lifeline service — unlimited talk, text & data
